... BACKGROUND: Anthracnose, caused by the fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, increases losses in the production of common beans. As 1,3‐diazoles can act against fungi by inhibiting the enzyme squalene epoxidase (SE), 2‐aminoselenazoles and 2‐aminothiazoles were synthesized and subjected to tests with the fungus. In addition, the interactions of the most promising substances with the enzyme SE were ...

Abstract:
... Intercropping the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) with maize (Zea mays L.) is a widely used agronomic practice in smallholder farms in different regions of the world. Although it is a common practice in the Colombian Amazon region, crop yields are low due to the degradation of low fertility, acidic soil and high-temperature stress. Studies are needed on how the integration of genetically adapt ...

... Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important legume for human consumption worldwide and an important source of vegetable protein, minerals, antioxidants, and bioactive compounds. The N₂-fixation capacity of this crop reduces its demand for synthetic N fertilizer application to increase yield and quality. Fertilization, yield, and quality of common bean may be optimised by several othe ...

... During the last century, the progressive substitution of landraces with modern, high yielding varieties, led to a dramatic reduction of in situ conserved crop diversity in Europe. Nowadays there is limited and scattered information on where landraces are cultivated. To fill this gap and lay the groundwork for a regional landrace in situ conservation strategy, information on more than 19,335 geo-re ...

... The presence of antinutrients in common beans negatively affects mineral bioavailability. Therefore, this study aimed to predict the antinutrient to mineral molar ratios (proxy-indicators of in vitro mineral bioavailability) of a wide range of raw bean types, using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. Iron, zinc, phytate and tannin concentrations and, antinutrient to mineral molar ratios were determi ...

Abstract:
... All across the world, different countries use Ecological risk assessments (ERA) of pesticides to pollinators as a regulatory tool to understand the safety of pesticide use in agriculture. However, pesticide application is still recognized as one of the main stress factors causing a decline in the global population of bees. In all ERA procedures, the effects of pesticides on the honey bee species A ...
... Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an important legume crop in Israel and heavily relies on S-metolachlor for weed control. Pre-emergence (PRE) treatment of pendimethalin can also be used for this crop, however, such application results with suboptimal weed control results. This study aimed to evaluate crop safety and weed control efficacy of pendimethalin applied by pre-plant soil incorporati ...
... The present study is region specific carried out to see the relation of bean anthracnose with weather in Kashmir and also to assess the yield loss in bean vis-a-vis anthracnose. Such studies form basis for deciding disease suppressive crop geometry and also sowing date alterations besides helping in disease predictions. The yield loss study in particular reveals the importance of a disease before ...

... It is widely accepted that mycorrhizal fungi increase phosphate fertilization efficiency. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of reduced phosphorus applications and inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on the nutrition and initial growth of the carioca-type common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L). The study was conducted at the Faculty of Engineering of Ilha Solteira, ...

Abstract:
... Wild animals are vulnerable to environmental noise. In wetlands, wintering waterbirds are easily disturbed by ship noises; however, the behavioral changes of waterbirds in response to different levels of noise are unclear. We simulated the acoustic environment created by ship movement to investigate the effects of ship noise on foraging, vigilance, and flight behaviors of the wintering bean goose ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: The loss of coffee leaves caused by the attack of pests and diseases significantly reduces its production and bean quality. Thus this study aimed to estimate foliation for regions with the highest production of arabica coffee in Brazil using nonlinear models as a function of climate. A 25‐year historical series (1995–2019) of Coffea arabica foliation (%) data was obtained by the Procaf ...
... Phytophthora root and stem rot of soybean caused by Phytophthora sojae is a destructive disease affecting soybean production worldwide. In nature, soybean is the only economically important cultivated host of P. sojae. The aim of this study was to explain different resistance mechanisms to P. sojae in nonhost common bean and host soybean as a basis for the control of Phytophthora root and stem rot ...
... The pulse beetle Callosobruchus maculatus causes potential damage to legume crops by infesting the seeds, leading to a reduction of total protein content. Arcelin found in the wild accessions of the common bean, is an insecticidal protein that has the potency to hamper the metabolism of the bruchid beetle. The arcelin gene from the wild accession of Phaseolus lunatus was isolated and the ORF encod ...

... Given the hypothesis that co-inoculation with plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) enhances the beneficial effects of Rhizobium tropici with greater mineral nutrition, optimizes biological nitrogen fixation and reduces use of fertilizers in bean plants, the objective of this research was to evaluate the synergistic effects of Rhizobium tropici associated with Azospirillum brasilense, Bacillus su ...
... Discrepancies in the published research as to the attraction of the economically important pest western flower thrips (WFT) to different colours confounds the optimisation of field traps for pest management purposes. We considered whether the different experimental conditions of independent studies could have contributed to this. Therefore, the behavioural response (i.e., landings) to different co ...

Abstract:
... Common bean has the potential to improve gut microbiota function due to its chemical composition and content of dietary fiber. This study evaluated the effect of cooked common bean (CCB) flour and its protein hydrolysate as part of a high-fat diet (HFD) added with 6-propyl-2-thiouracil (10 mg/kg/d), an inhibitor of thyroid hormone synthesis, on gut health of BALB/c mice. Forty-eight adult mice wer ...
... BACKGROUND: The recently developed Robusta coffee wilt disease resistant (CWD‐r) varieties in Uganda outperform the local landraces, both in yield and resilience. However, their uptake has been slow due to limited information on their cup worth. This study profiled the cup worth of the five most commonly grown CWD‐r across the Lake Victoria Crescent, Western Mid‐altitude farmland and Central Woode ...
... Organic materials have a nonreplaceable role to improve soil quality and productivity. Yet, processes related to decomposition and nutrient supply capacity are restricted under nutrient-depleted soils. Thus, a field experiment was conducted to evaluate the decomposition rate of leaf litter mixtures treated with mineral nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), and sulfur (S) fertilizer in the form of NPS (19 ...
... In this study, a series of novel mesoionic pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidinone compounds containing a natural skeleton indole were designed and synthesized, and the insecticidal activities of the target compounds were tested. The results showed that the target compounds had good to excellent insecticidal activities against white-backed planthoppers (Sogatella furcifera) and bean aphids (Aphis craccivora). A ...
